speaker boehner has said this. let's change the tax code. let's do something much broader base, lower those rates. a lot of folks are going to pay substantially more taxes because their special tax deductions will go away but we'll have a growth oriented tax system. >> congressman, i couldn't agree with you more, because we know the federal government spends $10 billion a day. the buffett rule, whatever you want to call it, maybe a week to two weeks of operating income for the government. i get that point. where will the other money come from? can you be specific? >> well, here's the reality. if you and i were to look at a chart and outside political rhetoric -- just put on our green eye shades and just be mathematicians. the problem is in the promises we made in entitlements, there's no money to pay for them. the medicare trust fund may only have a few years left and it's gone! because the incredible rate we're spending. if we do not hear the president talk about entitlements in that case he's just continuing his campaign of misinformation.
